Share your experiences about emotional support for people affected by cancer

The NHS Peninsula Cancer Alliance and Macmillan Cancer Support are undertaking a survey to understand how cancer affects the feelings and emotions of patients, their families, and/or carers.

Cancer can bring about many different emotions, affecting not only the individual diagnosed but also their friends, families, and carers. These emotions may change over time, and having access to support can help manage them.

The Peninsula Cancer Alliance is undertaking a survey to understand how cancer affects the feelings and emotions of patients, their families, and/or carers as well as the support services available or not available to them.

They are looking for:

  • People diagnosed or treated for cancer in the last 3 years
  • Families, friends and carers who have supported a person affected by cancer in the last 3 years

Learning about the support you received—or did not receive—to help manage your feelings and emotions while having cancer, or supporting someone with cancer, will help them understand what is working well and where improvements are needed.

Filling in this survey is voluntary and answers are anonymous. 

The Peninsula Cancer Alliance will use, manage, and store all data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 currently used in the UK. No personal identifiable data is being collected for the purposes of this survey. They would like to use direct quotes provided in the survey in the final report, any identifiable information will be removed.

The survey may take up to 20 minutes to complete.
